Hi!!! We use HM Professional for webhelp (html) but we cant do multiple word search, like "new york". It seems to search for new or for york, but we´d like that it searches for "new york" ... how to do this?

Hi Fdcarvalho,

This is called a "phrasal search" and it is only possible when you switch your search to PHP or ASP. In turn, PHP and ASP search are only supported on web servers with PHP or ASP support installed. To set it up, go to Project Explorer > Configuration > Publishing Options > Webhelp > Full Text Search. Then select PHP or ASP as the "Search Platform:" (at the bottom left) and "Enable exact phrase search" (bottom right). Note that you won't be able to test your search locally when you select these options, you must test it on a web server.
